Local radio lovers, here's one for you
Do you listen to AM/FM radio in your car? Your favorite stations will sound better than ever if they broadcast the digital sound of HD Radio™. The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD75BT CD receiver gives you a built-in HD Radio tuner that pumps up the FM sound quality to near-CD level, while making AM broadcasts sound like traditional FM. Since participating stations can broadcast multiple channels on the same frequency, you may find you have more choices than ever before. And it's backed by the rock-solid Arsenal two-year warranty.

The power and versatility of Bluetooth®
You may already know that Bluetooth lets you talk hands-free in the car, but now it lets you do so much more. Pair up your Android™ smartphone or Blackberry™, and you'll get some cool features — you can receive text message notification, stream music, or access Internet radio stations, depending on your phone's abilities. You can also play the audio from many other apps. Think of Bluetooth as a wireless bridge between your smartphone and your dash.

iPhone® lovers get the same features when connected via USB. JVC also lets you pair two phones at once, so there's no need to choose between your personal and business lines. When a call comes in, the receiver will blink either blue or red, so you'll know at a glance if your call is coming from home or the office. To answer a call, just tap the volume knob.

Apps for Android
JVC's Android app lets you use your compatible Android phone's touchscreen to control receiver functions using finger swipes and gestures — for example, tap the screen to play and pause, or swipe right to skip forward a track. So pop your Android phone in a mount, and you can reach down to skip a track without taking your eyes off the road.

Control Pandora® Internet radio
JVC makes it easy to play your favorite Pandora stations. iPhone users can control Pandora when connected to the USB slot, while Android and Blackberry owners get full control of Pandora through the Bluetooth connection, depending on your phone's features.

Higher-power USB connection
JVC upped the power in their USB port, which lets you keep your smartphone charged, even when it's doing several tasks at once. And with your smartphone connected, you can listen to its internal memory as one source and access the little microSD card as another.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this JVC stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the JVC, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Other features and specs:

Why replace your factory radio?

Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.

Product Research

HD Radio

Built-in HD Radio: With the built-in HD Radio tuner, you can
receive digital AM/FM broadcasts from local stations where available. HD Radio
technology significantly improves audio quality and reception, as well as
includes information such as artist name and song titles or traffic news,
viewable on the receiver's display. HD Radio Technology will deliver
high-quality digital sound. AM digital will have FM-like quality in stereo,
while FM digital will have CD-like quality sound with static free and clear reception.

Note: HD Radio is the system for digital AM and FM
broadcasting in the U.S. More than 2,000 radio stations are broadcasting
their primary signals in digital HD Radio technology, as a free service. Go
to HDRadio.com to
check for HD Radio stations in your area.

Multicasting: In addition to conventional broadcasts, with
HD Radio broadcasting, it is possible to choose from up to 8 multicast programs
(HD1 to HD8 and analog). There are also data programs for each program.

Text Display: AM/FM digital stations can offer text and data
such as artist names and song titles. The built-in HD Radio tuner displays song
title, artist and station information on the display of the JVC Arsenal KD-AHD75BT.

iTunes Tagging: It is possible to save the song's
information (tag) from a HD Radio broadcasting station to your USB-direct
connected iPod/iPhone. The songs will show up in a playlist called "Tagged" in
iTunes the next time you sync your iPod/iPhone. Then you can directly buy the
songs you want from the iTunes Music Store. You can "tag" up to 50 songs.

Note: Your iPod/iPhone must have at least 50MB of free space to
"tag" and transfer songs. iTunes 7.4 or later is required to purchase
"tagged" songs.

Digital/Analog Tuning: You can setup the KD-AHD75BT to search
both analog and digital radio stations, only HD Radio stations, or analog radio
stations only.

Digital/Analog Presets: You can set up to 18 FM and 6 AM
digital/analog presets stations as presets (HD Radio multicast channels can also
be preset). Presets can be set manually or automatically, using Strong-station
Sequential Memory (SSM).

Radio Timer: You can tune into a preset station at a
specific time regardless of the head unit's current source. You can activate the
Radio Timer once, daily, or turn it completely off.

Mono Mode: If an analog FM stereo broadcast is hard to

Track/Folder List: The Track/Folder List displays a list of
MP3/WMA folders and tracks on a loaded CD, so you can easily access your music.
The Track/Folder List will also display the list of track titles on a CD Text
disc.

Repeat: Track Repeat (plays the current track repeatedly), Folder
Repeat (plays all tracks of the current folder repeatedly), Off (cancels
repeat function)

automatically power up and begin playback.

Disc Protection: If the ejected
disc is not removed within 15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again
into the loading slot to protect it from dust. The source will change to CD, and
the disc will begin playback, even if you have another source selected at the

Mounting: For proper disc playback you must install the unit
within 30-degrees of horizontal.

Audio Section

MOSFET Amplifier: The KD-AHD75BT is equipped with a MOSFET
amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification
circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less
distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder
and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the
amplification circuit.

CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the KD-AHD75BT
are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement
standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were
developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and
between manufacturers. The power output specs for the KD-AHD75BT are as follows:

Amplifier Gain Control: When you
are using the KD-AHD75BT with factory speakers (or those rated to less than 50
watts peak), the Amplifier Gain Control can limit the amount of power being sent
to those speakers. When the Amp Gain Control is set to "low," the volume control
ranges from 0 (minimum) to 30 (maximum). When using speakers rated higher than
50 watts peak, you can set the Amp Gain Control to "high," and the volume
control will range from 0 to 50.

Volume Adjust: The input level of each source (other than FM) is
adjustable relative to the FM radio volume, so there isn't a significant volume
difference when changing sources. Each source is individually adjustable from -5
to +5.

Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume
level. You can turn this feature on or off.

4.8V/6CH Preamp Output: The KD-AHD75BT is equipped with three
pair of 4.8V preamp outputs (Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The front & rear preamp
outputs offer balance/fade control and are designed to hookup to a full-range
4-channel amplifier. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading and designed to
hookup to a mono-block subwoofer amplifier.

High-Pass Crossover: The KD-AHD75BT features a High-Pass
Crossover for the front & rear speaker-outputs or preamp-outputs. You can adjust
the high-pass crossover from 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 150 Hz, or Off. The 'Off' selection
is a full-range setting.

Subwoofer Controls: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD75BT offers the
following subwoofer controls, when you have the unit's subwoofer preamp output
activated.

Subwoofer Level: Once the Subwoofer preamp output is
activated, you can independently control the subwoofer preamp output level
(0-8) from the CD receiver.

Key-Touch Tone: The in-dash head unit provides an audible
beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.

Display Features

Detachable Face: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD75BT CD receiver features
a detachable face to deter theft. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face
non-detachable, if desired. A hard plastic face case is provide to store the detachable
face.

Note: An optional soft face case
(142DFC1X,
sold separately) can also be purchased for this unit.

Variable Color LCD & Key Illumination: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD75BT
features 29 color presets for the LCD and button illumination. You can choose
one of these color presets or select the ColorFlow mode which scrolls through
all 29 color presets. Additionally, there is a User preset, allowing you to
individually adjust the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue from 0 to 31;
resulting in approximately 30,000 custom color options. The chosen color preset
or custom color can be applied to the display panel and the backlighting for all
the buttons except the eject button (it remains red).
You can choose to use the same color for the LCD display and button
illumination, or use a separate color for each one. You can also select a
different color for daytime and nighttime in regards to the unit's LCD and
button illumination.

Brightness: The unit offers an adjustable display and button
illumination brightness level (0-31) for day and nighttime driving.

Display/Button Illumination Dimmer: The display/button
illumination dimmer can be set to Off (normal brightness at all times), On
(display/button illumination is always dimmed), or Auto (display dims when
12-volts is applied to the orange/white illumination lead).

Great Radio!!

Written By MissNinjaFox, Gaithersburg, MD on Thursday, February 19, 2015

good radio but has some issues

Good radio with some issues. The display is nice as you can color match to your dash lighting. My biggest issue is not being able to turn off the HD Radio function. The HD lags behind and it gives a skipping echo effect when listening to standard radio. My power antenna won't come up either since switching to this unit. Not sure why as I followed the instructions on wiring it up( not my first time).

Lots of control over the sound if you know how to tune your system.

Pros:Good control over sound. Color control on display.
6ch pre outs
Great phone features

Cons:Needs better HD Radio functionality. Bluetooth control can be finicky

Nice Head Unit

For the money this is a very versatile head unit with features only found in some higher end models, The sound is great with just my factory amplified speakers. The USB for the iPod and thumb drive works great and after listening to HD radio broadcast, I wont go back to regular FM broadcast. I only wish JVC made a dedicated spot behind the removable face-plate or build in their Bluetooth adapter so both the front and rear USB are available.

Pros:HD Tuner, Pandora, Ipod control and very cool illumination colors, separate front,rear and sub preouts. Ability to pair two cell phones at the same time

Cons:Small buttons, and you definitely have to read the manual to figure out the controls. Bluetooth adapter takes up one of the available USB input.

JVC Arsenal KD-AHD75BT

I bought this head unit because I could choose the display/buttons color. I hate a screaming-bright blue display for night time driving! I finally stumbled upon the idea that the night colors for the display/buttons was a composite of Red/Green/Blue and that I needed to zero out the Green & Blue levels to get Red. Once that was discovered, then just decrease the intensity of the red color appropriate to night time driving. I haven't tried HD Radio yet, I haven't plugged in an auxiliary device, I don't have a Bluetooth phone (yet), but the unit supports all of that plus more. I do have 4 speakers hooked up and it sounds pretty good to me (that might not be saying much)

Very Nice Alternative To OEM Radio

I bought a replacement for the standard Honda Ridgeline unit so I could get rid of an old 3rd-party iPod interface and also incorporate hands-free Bluetooth operation with my iPhone. This JVC included all I needed at a good price and sounds much better than the original.

Pros:Good sound, neat appearance, fairly easy installation. Works with My wife's and my Smart Phones. Installation kit and steering-wheel control system also installed and working fine.

Cons:Some controls are tiny and require visual feedback. Manual for the steering-wheel control interface was a bit vague - required a call to Tech Support. Support cleared it up within a few minutes.

Great features at a great price

All the features i wanted in a head unit. Bluetooth audio streaming and phone, 3 sets of high gain pre-amps, HD radio (which is so much better than regular fm), color changing, removable face. Many people complain about the dimmer at night still being too bright but I thought it is fine, fully adjustable. Love that I can have different colors for day and night.

Really only 1 USB

JVC makes you think this has built-in Bluetooth, as well as 2 USB inputs, front/rear. However, you have to use one of the USP ports for the included (not built-in) Bluetooth to USB adapter, so if you use the BT functions of this unit, you give up one of the USB ports. So if you want to use hands-free BT phone functions, you lost a lot of the capability of this unit. I wanted to hook up a thumb drive to one USB port and an iPod to the other, but can't do that. If you're looking for a true 2 USB unit, this isn't the one. The one I returned to Crutchfield also had a faceplate that would not eject properly. In addition I HATE the feel of every single button on this unit, you could not tell if you were actually pushing them or not. When navigating files and folders on USB thumb drive, it was very difficult to scroll through folders, and the unit cannot display any sub-folders, just shows them all so you get a very lengthy and confusing list. Finally, there is no way to pause playback from an iPod/iPhone via the head unit, VERY frustrating !! Would not recommend this unit to anyone.
